Thu Sep 12 00:21:00 UTC 2024: ## Prince William Rocks New Beard and Military Uniform at Royal Engagement
Prince William, the Prince of Wales, made a striking appearance at the Sovereign’s Parade at the Royal Air Force College in Cranwell on Thursday. Sporting a new beard and his military uniform, he wowed royal fans who were quick to praise his “King vibes” on social media.
The 42-year-old royal attended the parade, which included graduates from the Commissioned Warrant Officers Course and Modular Initial Officer Training Course, on behalf of King Charles. His new facial hair, first debuted this summer in a video message to UK athletes, has been a major talking point amongst royal watchers with every public appearance.
William’s beard has garnered particular attention since he resumed official duties following the summer break. Earlier this week, his new look caused a stir during a visit to Wales, where he met with pupils from Swiss Valley Community Primary School in Llanelli, including 10-year-old Ruby Davies, who went viral for her impressive performance at the Urdd Eisteddfod.
While William’s beard has been stealing the show, his wife, Princess Catherine, has been taking a break from royal duties following her video announcement on Monday about her gradual return.
